Irvine, California (USA)
HID Global’s Omnikey 6221 delivers data protection and secure content issuance using encryption and digital signatures in conjunction with PIN protection. This provides the assurance of two-factor authentication in a pluggable, SIM-sized contact smart card format that is ideal for protecting data and any licensed content that is used by today’s increasingly mobile workforce. The removable SAM module gives organisations the flexibility to re-use the reader by simply issuing a new SAM module when needed.
The Omnikey 6221 measures 3.7 inches long by 1.02 inches wide by 0.59 inches high (94 x 26 x 15 mm). The reader is based on the same technology and drivers as HID Global’s Omnikey popular desktop product family of logical access readers, making it easy to integrate into existing Omnikey applications. The reader is designed to meet all major standards, including ISO 7816, Microsoft WHQL, USB CCID, PC/SC, HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface) and the PC-2001specification. In addition, it works on any operating-system platform supporting CCID and USB removable media, without requiring any drivers to be installed. The Omnikey 6221 USB Reader is manufactured using a sturdy poly carbonate material, and is available now.
